The AlumaSki is Nimble Like a Jet Ski and Tough Like a Steel-Hulled Boat

— September 19, 2014 — Lifestyle
The AlumaSki is a unique watercraft that brings together the best design and performance elements of jet skis and steel-hulled jet boats, for a watercraft experience that is both powerful and lightweight.

The AlumaSki watercraft is powered by a water-cooled and electronic fuel-injected Yamaha 1,052 cc 4-cylinder 4-stroke engine capable of pumping out 110 horsepower. It can travel as fast as 60 miles per hour. This is largely possible due to the light weight of the craft -- the non-hull sections of its 12-foot-long body are crafted out of thin marine-grade aluminum. The craft weighs 950 pounds and can carry up to 1000 pounds.

The AlumAsk is already available for pre-order and can be yours for $24,995.
